This review is from: Walkways and Drives: Design Ideas for Making Grand Entrances (Schiffer Design Books) (Paperback)

Because of the photography the book looks dated like it was published in the 80's. I expected fabulous drives and entrances like would be seen in Palm Beach and Beverly Hills, this is not the case.
